What is newspaper trying to accomplish?

Daily Herald Media launches grenades, but does it care where they end up?

EDITOR: Why would anyone in this area want to serve as an elected public official or a paid public employee, given Daily Herald Media's relentless and usually baseless attacks on such people?

First, the Daily Herald planted suggestions within its articles that Wausau School Superintendent Kathleen Williams should lose her job over the recent music controversy. More recently, it has published articles that lead me to the conclusion that you would like to see Wausau Public Works director Brad Marquardt lose his job; and a separate news story stating that five local candidates have "criminal records" and a "sordid past," a questionable claim at best.

Most recently, the Daily Herald ran an article suggesting that the Weston village administrator might have violated a policy against driving a municipal vehicle under the influence of alcohol, when all the facts in the article suggest that he was not under the influence of alcohol by any interpretation.

Is Daily Herald Media in cahoots with the Tea Party with a goal of eliminating government by driving out all of its members? Or are you blindly attacking all targets in your sights in an attempt to sell papers?
